Those of you who came to the last Stanza chaired by Keith may remember my poem called Faith (or If you Build It They Will Come), about building a garden pond and waiting for the arrival of wildlife, especially a pond skater to come and perform the miracle of walking on water. Well, I’m overjoyed to report that one has arrived, and as I said in the poem, it came when I wasn’t looking for it (I described performing the pond gazing ritual every day in front of the statue of Buddha)! I’ve called it Torville due its skating prowess. It’s on its own and seems quite vulnerable.It’s quite time consuming being a pond skater’s body guard!
Sorry I won’t make the next Stanza or the next Erddig. Have fun. I’m off to check on Torville…..
Oh that is so wonderful; a happy welcome to Torville, your pond skater, and hope his friends soon follow!
oooh – will there be a Dean (spelling – not sure – apologies)? That could be a totally different poem. See you when we see you.
